If this week has you dreaming of palm trees and ocean breezes, you’re not alone. While we can’t always jet off to paradise, your lunch can still taste like a tropical getaway. Enter: Coconut-Lime Ground Turkey Bowls with Mango Slaw.
This bowl is sunshine in a meal. Lean ground turkey gets a juicy, zesty boost from lime juice, garlic, and light coconut milk, creating a creamy, flavorful base that’s anything but boring. Then comes the real star: a mango slaw that’s crunchy, tangy, and just sweet enough to balance the richness of the turkey. Add jasmine rice (or cauliflower rice for fewer points!), and you’ve got a meal that hits every craving. I use the Instant Pot Pressure Cooker to cook my rice. It turns out perfect every time!
I use these C CREST glass lunch dishes for my meal preps. They are durable and do not leak.
This is the kind of meal that makes you feel GOOD. Nourished, energized, and totally on top of your week. So go ahead—prep it on Sunday, and thank yourself every day at lunchtime.
Pro tip: Keep the slaw separate until mealtime for that ultra-satisfying crunch. I enjoy mine heated up with the entire bowl!
When separating your ground turkey or any meat, use a masher! I use this Farberware one! Don’t forget to add lime zest. This is the one I use and works great! While the meat cooks, mix up your slaw ingredients in a large mixing bowl. These Pyrex glass bowls are what I use everytime I am mixing anything or eating a ginormous salad!
